Current Trends in Biotechnology and PharmacyVol. 5 (2) April 2011. ISSN 0973-8916 (Print), 2230-7303 (Online)ilead to bright new apple varieties. The leader of theCSIRO Plant Industry research team, Dr Mandy Walkersaid that red colour in apple skin is the result ofanthocyanins, the natural plant compoundsresponsible for blue and red colours in many flowersand fruits. Using the latest molecular technology, howmuch particular genes were activated, or expressed, inapple skin as the fruit ripened and coloured wasmeasured. The gene requires light for activation. Byidentifying master genes that were activated by light,the gene that controls the formation of anthocyaninsin red apples was expressed, and it was found that ingreen apples this gene is not expressed as much as inred apples. In collaboration with apple breeders at theDepartment of Agriculture and Food in WesternAustralia (DAFWA), the scientists were able to showthat fruit colour can be predicted even in seedlingapple plants by measuring the form of this gene that ispresent.Deblina DeyEDUCATIONPhD/Post Doctoral ProgramsPost-doctoral/ Research Scholar/ResearchAssociate/Research technicians: Positions areavailable immediately in Nanomedicine ResearchCenter, University of South Florida in the laboratoryof Dr. Narasaiah Kolliputi to investigate the cellularand molecular mechanisms of oxidant mediated lunginjury and pro-inflammatory effects in the lungs withspecial emphasis on inflammasome, redox signalingand microRNA regulation. The successful candidateswill join a vibrant team in studying the oxidative stress,inflammasome regulation, microRNA and proinflammatorygene regulation in cell culture and animalmodels. Expertise in cell culture, biochemical andmolecular biology techniques and animal work (mouse)is desirable. For Research Associate/Postdocpositions, PhD or MD/PhD in Life Sciences is required.For Research technician MS or BS with researchexperience is required.
